E. order to disorder
As likewise discussed in that technical note, this table might include things like the move from phlogiston/caloric theories, through the recognition that heat is a form of disordered energy to which statistical inference applies, and through the entropy-first approaches which gained a foothold in the 19th century with Maxwell, Boltzmann plus Gibbs and have pretty much taken over senior-undergrad physics texts (with Tom Moore's intro-physics text being one of the first to take that path). The 20th-century correlation-first strategy, which brings statistical physics back into contact with the broader application areas of statistical inference, is finding major applications e.g. in data compression and clade analysis, but is not yet widely discussed in context of its promise for helping us with modern cross-disciplinary challenges like community health. General systems theory already has a track record in that regard.
Here again, most 20th century intro-physics books bring students up only into the 19th century (pink row). For physics majors, thankfully, senior undergrad books had by century's end almost all moved well into the 20th.
